Bags under the eyes affect both men and women. They are fat deposits under the eyes which generally appear with age and are accentuated by alcohol, smoking, fatigue and sometimes by a poor lifestyle in general.
Bags under the eyes should not be confused with dark circles, which are a variation in the colour of the skin under the eyes and darken the eye contours. Both bags under the eyes and dark circles give a tired and dull look. This phenomenon can be treated in different ways. They are more or less invasive and will be advised according to the extent of the sagging, but also depending on your expectations.
The most commonly used treatment for the correction of bags under the eyes is usually blepharoplasty. If the bags are less pronounced, there are other non-surgical methods to reduce swelling under the eyes.
Blepharoplasty
Blepharoplasty is a surgical procedure to correct sagging eyelids, which may be due to age or hereditary factors. The procedure can be performed on the upper eyelids, the lower eyelids or all four eyelids simultaneously. Depending on expectations and specificities, blepharoplasty can be performed under local or general anaesthesia.
Peelings
The appearance of some moderate scars can be improved by the smoothing effect of peelings. They provide natural exfoliation of the epidermis and dermis. The depth of action of the treatment depends on the importance of the skin imperfections to be treated. Several sessions are generally necessary.
